“…Social capital is defined as individuals, groups and communities ability to use their network of relationships to access financial, physical, emotional and resources to fulfil survival and recovery needs (Panday et al , 2021).

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore and understand the needed entrepreneurial actions required to attain sustainability during the COVID-19 pandemic. Social entrepreneurial sustainability is defined as the process of developing sustainable solutions for social, economic or environmental problems that are not being addressed by the market. This paper intends to get a clearer picture of how social entrepreneurial sustainability is affected by the exogenous shocks caused by the pandemic. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative exploratory approach using a case study design was used. Semi-structured interviews with five CEOs and founders of accredited social enterprises in Malaysia that have proven sustainable were conducted. Triangulation was applied in this study through three different data sources to confirm and validate the emerging findings. Findings The findings reveal various innovative revenue-generating activities and business processes taken by social entrepreneurs to be sustainable during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as pivoting and forging new partnerships. Themes such as technical innovation and social innovation are critical concepts that need to be differentiated and understood. The introduction of a new construct termed “mission agility” will be of significant interest to academicians studying social entrepreneurship and sustainability. Practical implications The practical implications of this study suggest that if social enterprises implement the recommended strategies, they may achieve both short-term and long-term social entrepreneurial sustainability during the pandemic crisis and progressively into the post-pandemic era. Originality/value This study is unique by using two methods of data collection. By providing vital empirical evidence through primary and secondary data, the paper will offer robust findings and proposes recommendations on entrepreneurial strategies to foster the recovery and sustainability of social enterprises during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Por último, como ha quedado manifiesto a través de los ejemplos, la pertenencia a redes de relaciones públicas y privadas, así como la percepción ciudadana sobre la entidad o sus responsables juegan también un papel esencial en la vulnerabilidad de sus animales. Las teorías sobre el capital social en situaciones de emergencia y desastre, han sido contempladas por su importancia a la hora de reducir o aumentar la vulnerabilidad de determinadas comunidades, así como de influir en los procesos de recuperación (Panday et al, 2021;Durant, 2011;Malherbe et al, 2020). En el caso de Brinzal y Cuencanimal, el mantenimiento de estas relaciones y de una reputación social favorable, contribuyó a la rápida colaboración institucional y consiguiente disminución de la vulnerabilidad de sus animales.…”

Los desastres no afectan a todos por igual. La vulnerabilidad de cada individuo se construye social y culturalmente. Si conceptos como clase social, edad o etnicidad resultan importantes, pertenecer a una determinada especie es determinante ante un desastre. Este trabajo aborda el concepto de vulnerabilidad de los animales residentes en refugios españoles, en situaciones de emergencia y desastre. Para ello reconstruye etnográficamente las historias de 4 refugios de animales durante el paso de la borrasca “Filomena” por España, a principios de 2021. El artículo enfatiza la necesidad de incluir a los no humanos en la narrativa humanitaria, así como en el desarrollo de tecnologías, como leyes, protocolos de actuación y planes de respuesta, que garanticen su seguridad, promoviendo una responsabilidad tanto de la administración pública como de las entidades privadas. A partir del estudio de caso de la borrasca Filomena en España, este trabajo pretende evidenciar la vulnerabilidad de los animales de compañía residentes en refugios y protectoras, abriendo una vía para su incorporación en la gestión de emergencias y desastres de cualquier índole, que resulte aplicable a todas las regiones del planeta, con especial foco en Latino América, Caribe y España.

“…This catastrophe has been a wide concern and critical issue to field study, not only science, economics, but also through all of the field of studies. Moreover, the number of studies regarding the disaster keep growing, and most of that literature often link to the social capital which commonly play a role in disaster relief [1][2][3]. Social capital provides economic and social benefits both to the individuals involved and to other parties such as growing solidarity, easy access to information, diffusion of information, and togetherness in completing social tasks [4].…”

“…Research in the field of disaster has been growingly and widely conducted primarily in response to the local and global disaster phenomena which has also witnessed an increasing trend over the time [8]. On the other hand, social capital has been recognized as a key element in recovery and resilience to disasters [2]. There has also been extensive research on social capital carried out by various authors from various fields of science dominated mainly by the fields of sociology, economics, organization and politics [9].…”

Meanwhile, social capital has been recognized as a key element in disasters’ recovery and resilience. This study employs qualitative standpoint to identify the findings and themes of research linking the issues of disaster and social capital. In selecting and critically appraising all the relevant studies in the topic of disaster and social capital, systematic review method was adopted. Using the Scopus database to identify relevant articles, this study reviewed 39 articles published in (accounting and business) journals indexed in Scopus from 1990 to 2020. The finding identifies several research themes within the interaction of disaster and social capital. Five sub-clusters were identified consisting of research focused on bridging social capital, bonding social capital, the factors, the role, social participation, and obstacles. Findings from each sub-cluster were mapped out and it generally indicates somehow synchronous patterns of findings from each cluster indicating the various essential roles of social capital were highlighted for the disaster resilience and recovery process.
